Description
- Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device for providing content and a method for controlling the electronic device, and more particularly, to a method for applying a sound effect to a sound source.
- With the recent technological development, various types of electronic devices (e.g., smart phones, music players, etc.) have provided a function of outputting various types of sound sources through a sound output device (e.g., a speaker, an earphone, etc.). For example, an electronic device may output super-high-quality sound source.
- The super-high-quality sound source may include sound source data having a sampling rate of 96 kHz or 192 kHz or higher. The super-high-quality sound may be a mastering quality sound (MQS) source, a mastering high definition (HD) sound source, a highest quality sound (HQS) sound source, a high-resolution audio (HRA) sound source, and an ultra-high quality (UHQ) sound source.
- The electronic device provides a function of applying various sound effects to a sound source based on user's selection. Relevant prior art for modifying sound source data can be found in
US 2009/216526 A1 ,JP 2005 341204 A KR 2009 0085887 A - When a sound effect is applied to a super-high-quality sound source in an electronic device, the electronic device may apply a selected sound effect to the sound source after down-sampling sound source data to a sampling rate corresponding to limited capabilities of the electronic device and/or the sound effect due to the limited capabilities of the electronic device (e.g., a computational capability of a processor included in the electronic device, a speed of processing with respect to the sound source, an available memory, the remaining capacity of a battery of the electronic device, etc.) and the limited capabilities of the sound effect applied to the sound source (e.g., a problem in which a frequency band supported by the sound effect does not include a super high-quality sound band, etc.).
- For example, for the existing sampling rate of the sound source data of 96 kHz, when a sound effect is applied to the sound source after the sound source data is down-sampled to 48 kHz (a sampling rate corresponding to the limited capabilities of the sound effect), a time for processing application of the sound effect in the electronic device may be reduced to a half.
- However, when down-sampling is applied to the sound source data, a signal of high-frequency band data of the sound source data is lost inevitably.
- The present disclosure provides an electronic device capable of preventing a loss of a high-frequency band signal with a method for applying a sound effect to reproduce a sound source in the electronic device.
- The technical solution is defined by the independent claims. Optional embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.
- With an electronic device that provides content and a method for controlling the electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, when the electronic device reproduces a sound source, the electronic device may perform frequency division and reconstruction to effectively apply a sound effect, allowing a user to listen to the sound source without a loss of a particular frequency band in spite of several constraints.
- In addition, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when the sound effect is applied to the sound source, the amount of computation and processing speed of the electronic device may be reduced, thus reducing the power consumption of a battery.

FIGs. 32A and 32B illustrate an up-sampling operation and a synthesizing operation according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. - Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be disclosed with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be appreciated that various embodiments of the present disclosure and the terms used therein are not intended to limit the technological features set forth herein to particular embodiments and include various changes, equivalents, or replacements for a corresponding embodiment. With regard to the description of the drawings, similar reference numerals may be used to refer to similar or related elements.
- In the present disclosure, an expression such as "having," "may have," "comprising," or "may comprise" indicates existence of a corresponding characteristic (e.g., a numerical value, a function, an operation, or an element like a part) and does not exclude existence of additional characteristic.
- As used herein, each of such phrases as "A or B," "at least one of A or/and B," "at least one or more of A or/and B," and so forth may include all possible combinations of the items enumerated together in a corresponding one of the phrases. For example, "A or B," "at least one of A and B," or "one or more of A or B" may indicate the entire of (1) including at least one A, (2) including at least one B, or (3) including both at least one A and at least one B.
- As used herein, such terms as "1st" and "2nd," or "first" and "second" may be used to define various components regardless of importance or order, and simply distinguish a corresponding component from another without limiting the components. For example, a first user device and a second user device may represent different user devices regardless of order or importance. For example, a first element may be named as a second element without departing from the right scope of the various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, and similarly, a second element may be named as a first element.
- When it is described that an element (such as a first element) is "operatively or communicatively coupled with/to" or "connected" to another element (such as a second element), the element can be directly connected to the other element or can be connected to the other element through another element (e.g., a third element). However, when it is described that an element (e.g., a first element) is "directly connected" or "directly coupled" to another element (e.g., a second element), it means that there is no intermediate element (e.g., a third element) between the element and the other element.
- An expression "configured to (or set)" used in the present disclosure may be replaced with, for example, "suitable for," "having the capacity to," "designed to," "adapted to," "made to," or "capable of" according to a situation. A term "configured to (or set)" does not always mean only "specifically designed to" by hardware. Alternatively, in some situation, an expression "apparatus configured to" may mean that the apparatus "can" operate together with another apparatus or component. For example, a phrase "a processor configured (or set) to perform A, B, and C" may be a dedicated processor (e.g., an embedded processor) for performing a corresponding operation or a generic-purpose processor (such as a central processing unit (CPU) or an application processor) that can perform a corresponding operation by executing at least one software program stored at a memory device. A term "configured to (or set)" does not always mean only "specifically designed to" by hardware.
- Terms defined in the present disclosure are used for only describing a specific exemplary embodiment and may not have an intention to limit the scope of other exemplary embodiments. The singular forms are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. All of the terms used herein including technical or scientific terms have the same meanings as those generally understood by an ordinary skilled person in the related art. The terms defined in a generally used dictionary should be interpreted as having meanings that are the same as or similar with the contextual meanings of the relevant technology and should not be interpreted as having ideal or exaggerated meanings unless they are clearly defined in the various exemplary embodiments.

processor 120 reproduces (e.g., outputs) the sound source data through at least one sound source output device (e.g., thespeaker 282, theearphone 286, a tablet PC, etc.) functionally connected with theprocessor 120. - According to various embodiments, the
processor 120 receives an input for selecting a sound effect and/or an input for applying a sound effect to a sound source to be reproduced, through an input device (e.g., the touch panel 252). - According to various embodiments, upon receiving an input for selecting a sound effect and/or an input for applying a sound effect to a sound source to be reproduced, through the
input device 252, theprocessor 120 may determine whether the reproduction sound source is a super-high-quality sound source. - According to various embodiments, to determine whether the reproduction sound source is a super-high-quality sound source, the
processor 120 determines whether sound source data of the reproduction sound source corresponds to a designated attribute (e.g., a sampling rate). - According to various embodiments, once determining that the sound source data does not correspond to the designated attribute, the
processor 120 applies the sound effect to the sound source data. - According to various embodiments, when the sound source data corresponds to the designated attribute, the

processor 120 may determine the sound source data as super-high-quality sound source data, identify a frequency band that is supportable by the sound source data, and determine the first designated frequency band based on the supportable frequency band. - For example, a designated sampling rate that is a criterion for determining whether the sound source is a super-high-quality sound source may be 48 kHz, and for a sampling rate of the sound source of 96 kHz, the
processor 120 may determine the reproduction sound source as the super-high-quality sound source. - When the sampling rate of the sound source is 96 kHz, the frequency band supportable by the sound source data may be 48 kHz that is a 1/2 frequency of the sampling rate of the sound source at 0 kHz. When the sampling rate of the sound source is 96 kHz, the frequency band presented by the sound source data may be a frequency band of 0 kHz to 48 kHz. According to various embodiments, the first designated frequency band may be determined based on a 1/3 frequency of the sampling rate of the sound source, a 1/4 frequency of the sampling rate, and/or a 1/N frequency of the sampling rate (e.g., N is a real number) as well as the 1/2 frequency of the sampling rate.

memory 130 and/or a hardware filter module functionally connected with theprocessor 120. - According to various embodiments, the first designated frequency band may be a high-frequency band that is different from a low-frequency band in a frequency band of the sound source data.
- According to various embodiments, the first sound source data may be sound source data including data corresponding to the high-frequency band in the frequency band of the sound source data.
- The
processor 120 multiplexes (e.g., copies, separates, or divides) the sound source data into plural sound source data and obtains the first sound source data corresponding to the high-frequency band in a frequency band of partial sound source data by applying a high-pass filter to the partial sound source data of the multiplexed plural sound source data. - The
processor 120 generates at least partial data by down-sampling the partial sound source data of the multiplexed plural sound source data. - According to various embodiments, in operation S405, the
processor 120 generates second sound source data by applying the sound effect to the at least partial data corresponding to a second designated frequency band in the sound source data. - According to various embodiments, the second designated frequency band may be the low-frequency band that is different from the high-frequency band in the frequency band of the sound source data.
- According to various embodiments, the at least partial data may be sound source data including data corresponding to the low-frequency band in the frequency band of the sound source data.

processor 120 generates synthesized sound source data corresponding to the sound source data by synthesizing the first sound source data with the second sound source data. - According to various embodiments, in operation S409, the
processor 120 reproduces (e.g., outputs) the synthesized sound source data through the at least onespeaker 282 functionally connected with theprocessor 120. -
